CPC Global Offer: What’s Missing?
June 26, 2016
The Global Offer of Canada Post contains many serious rollbacks and inadequate proposals. Also it fails to address many of our demands. Here are a few of them.
Our Demands | Canada Post Position | ||
| 1. | Wage increase above inflation | No | |
| 2. | Hourly rate for RSMCs | No | |
| 3. | Pay for all hours worked for RSMC | No | |
| 4. | Equal Pay and benefits for RSMCs | No | |
| 5. | Single bundle for letter carriers | No | |
| 6. | Strengthen the right to refuse | No | |
| 7. | Increase full-time jobs in Group 1 | No | |
| 8. | Full job security for all regular employees | No | |
| 9. | Substantial wage adjustment for Groups 3 and 4 | No: $0.50 per hour for some | |
| 10. | Eliminate low wages for new hires | No | |
| 11. | Top up benefits for parental and compassionate leave | No | |
| 12. | Improve rights and benefits for temporary employees and OCREs | No | |
| 13. | One collective agreement for Urban and RSMCs | No | |
| 14. | Recognition of social stewards in collective agreement | No | |
| 15. | Guaranteed number of hours for RSMCs | No | |
| 16. | New classification for heavy duty vehicle mechanics | No | |
| 17. | Increased hours at retail counters | No | |
| 18. | Introduce new services such as banking, internet | No | |
| 19. | No contracting out of work | No | |
| 20. | Restore sick leave | No | |
| 21. | 100% pay for injury-on-duty | No | |
| 22. | Ergonomic studies on new equipment and work methods | No | |
| 23. | Prior to hiring from outside offer urban positions to RSMCs | No | |
| 24. | Restore door-to-door delivery where it was removed | No |
Canada Post management must realize that meeting the demands of postal
workers is necessary to obtain a negotiated collective agreement.
